The biology major in the Bachelor of Arts degree program is designed for students who need breadth of understanding in the field of biology without the interdisciplinary depth afforded by the biology major in the Bachelor of Science degree program. Students pursuing the biology major in the BA program may need to take courses in other academic fields in preparation for their career path (e.g., nursing, scientific writing/illustration, occupational therapy) or may need to double major in academic fields outside biology that are required for certain career paths (e.g., teaching).?
